Abstract
A novel nifedipine-containing solid pharmaceutical preparation composition comprising a mixture of nifedipine and at least one 1st(a) substance selected from polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose; a mixture of nifedipine, at least one 1st(b) substance selected from polyvinyl pyrrolidone, urea, citric acid mannitol, succinic acid, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and amino acid, and at least one 2nd substance selected from a surface active agent, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, a glycerol fatty acid ester and a vegetable oil; or a mixture of nifedipine, the 1st(b) substance, the 2nd substance and calcium lactate. The composition of this invention can increase the bioavailability of nifedipine and makes it possible to provide a nifedipine-containing pharmaceutical preparation which has small bulk and can be easily administered.
